ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter weighed in on the situation recently during a radio appearance. He also sent a stern warning to Pittsburgh about Watt's contract situation. Schefter's response comes about the possible scenario of Watt holding out into the regular season if the two sides can't come together on a new deal before.

The Pittsburgh Steelers and star outside linebacker T.J. Watt are still not close on a contract, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, who says the deal could drag out much longer.

The Pittsburgh Steelers may have secured Aaron Rodgers, but a new concern is emerging just weeks before training camp. Head coach Mike Tomlin has received a troubling update on T.J. Watt's contract situation.

While the football world will speculate on the amount of money that Watt is asking the Steelers to give him, there's no doubt that both sides, especially the team, want a deal done. This would be said by ESPN NFL insider Jeremy Fowler, who reiterated on SportsCenter Saturday what a member of the team expressed.

T.J. Watt and the Steelers haven't yet agreed to a long-term extension, but Pittsburgh appears committed to keeping him.

The Bengals and Trey Hendrickson hope to bridge the gap in their continued contract talks. Second-year wideout Jamari Thrash has been an offseason surprise for Cleveland.
